본 연구는 수소화물 발생장치가 부착된 원자흡광 광도계 (HG-AAS)를 이용하여 비교적 고농도의 Se을 함유하고 있는 석유정제 폐수의 Se 분석을 위하여 적합한 분석조건을 선정하고자 수행되었다. Se(VI)의 Se(IV)로의 환원 실험에서 폐수량 10 mL, 염산 주입량 10 mL, 가열시간 30분이 최적 환원조건으로 결정되었다. 폐수의 조성성분과 유기물의 농도가 높은 경우에는 Se 회수율이 감소하였다. 따라서 3가지 산분해법 ($HNO_3/HClO_4$ 분해, $KMnO_4$ 분해 및 초단파 산분해)에 의한 유기물, 석유화합물 분해 및 유기성 Se(org.), Se(IV) 산화에 따른 Se 회수율을 검토하였다. 실험결과 산분해전 약 50~80%이었던 Se 회수율은 모든 산분해에서 90%이상이었으며 특히, 초단파 산분해에 의한 Se 회수율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 HG-AAS를 이용한 석유정제 폐수의 Se 분석시에는 초단파 산분해후 염산 처리를 하는 전처리 과정이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Membrane system has been increasingly considered as a safe and cost-effective water treatment process especially in case of small scale water works. This research is a basis of membrane application in water works through a long period test with obtaining operation skills and evaluation of water quality and cost competitiveness. For the research, the UF membrane system was installed in small water treatment plant that uses river-bed water as raw water. The system was consisted of 2 stage membrane and operated in constant flow mode (Flux: 1.5, 1.0, 0.9, 0.6). In each different flux condition, TMP trends were showed better results at lower flux condition. And through the high flux condition test, it is certified that membrane system could deal with breakdown of one stage. Water quality of permeate was satisfied the water quality standards especially turbidity. To know what mainly causes fouling on membrane, the test by membrane with several cleaning agents and EDX analysis have done in lab. Through the tests, ferrous concentration in raw water, backwashing water and membrane surface etc. was high and it causes fouling inside and outside of membrane. So acid cleaning using organic acid such as oxalic acid is necessary in Chemical in Place (CIP). At the economical aspect the electrical cost of membrane system is higher than that of slow sand filtration but labor cost can be reduced by automation. However, the use of labor should be determined considering effectiveness and stability of operation. Because during the operation, there are several breakdown such as electrical shock by lightning, water drop in summer, etc.

The operational characteristics of anaerobic bioreactors in treating swine wastewater were evaluated upto hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1 day and organic loading rate (OLR) of $5.1kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ for 200 days. The bioreactors were effective in treating swine wastewaters with COD removal efficiency of $78.9{\sim}81.5%$ and biogas generation of $0.39{\sim}0.59m^3/kg-COD_r$ at OLR of $1.1{\sim}2.2kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$. The two-stage ASBF anaerobic bioreactors was effective in treating different characteristics of swine wastewaters since they showed high and stable COD removal efficiency at high OLR due to effective retention of biomass by media and staging. The effects of ammonia on anaerobic digestion were investigated by operating two-stage ASBF reactors using swine wastewaters as influent without and with ammonia removal at HRT of $1{\sim}2$ days and OLR of $2.2{\sim}9.6kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ for 250 days. The COD removal efficiency and biogas generation of two-stage ASBF reactors was decreased by increasing influent ammonia concentrations to 1,580 mg (T-N)/L with increasing OLR to $6.3kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, while those were increased by maintaining influent ammonia concentrations below 340 mg (T-N)/L by MAP precipitation with increasing OLR to $9.6kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$. Initial inhibition of ammonia on anaerobic processes was observed at a concentration of 760 mg (T-N)/L and the COD removal efficiency and biogas generation dropped to 1/2 at ammonia concentration ranges of $1,540{\sim}1,870mg$ (T-N)/L. It is essential to remove ammonia in swine wastewaters to an initial inhibition level before anaerobic processes for the effective removal of COD.

In this research, recovery of high quality organics from excess activated sludge and its potential as a external carbon sources for BNR process was studied. By simultaneous treatment of alkali and ozone, TSS concentration was reduced by 32%, and RBDCOD fraction was increased by 76.2%, and major constitute of produced organic were acetic acid and propionic acid. Also, nitrogen and phosphorus were greatly solubilized. However, because acid-hydrolyzable phosphorus(AHP) was major part of solubilized phosphorus, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $PO_4{^3}-P$ concentration were insufficient for effective formation of crystal like as MAP(Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate) and hydroxyapatite. By placing BPR reactor before alkali-ozone treatment reactor, $PO_4{^3}-P$ concentration in pretreated sludge was increased by 1.8 times, and improved potential of phosphorus recovery by crystallization. In experiment of crystallization, hydroxyapatite formation was more easily applied than MAP. By hydroxyapatite formation, $SCOD/PO_4-P$ ratio was greatly increased from 32.7 at control to 141.9 at $Ca^{2+}/PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ mole ratio of 2.4. The results based on this study indicated that the proposed system configuration has potential to reduce the excess sludge production, to recover phosphorus in usable forms as well as utilize organics as a external carbon source in BNR process.

Anaerobic digestion is generally used for the treatment of volatile organic solids such as manure and sludge from waste water treatment plants. However, the reaction rate of anaerobic process is slow, and thus it requires a large reactor volume. To minimize such a disadvantage, physical and chemical pre-treatment is generally considered. Another method to reduce the reactor size is to adopt different reactor system other than CSTR. In this paper, the effects of heat pre-treatment and reactor configurations on the anaerobic treatability of volatile solids was studied. Carrot, kale, primary sludge, and waste activated sludge was chosen as the test materials, and the BMP method was used to evaluate the maximum methane production and first order rate constants from each sample. After the heat treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 30min., the measured increase in SCOD per gram VS was up to 394 mg/L for the waste activated sludge. However, the methane production potential per gram VS was increased for only primary and waste activated sludge by 17-23%, remaining the same for carrot and kale. The overall methane production process for the tested solids can be described by first order reactions. The increased in reaction constant after heat pre-treatment was also more significant for the primary and waste activated sludge than that for carrot and kale. therefore, the heat pre-treatment appeared to be effective for the solids with high protein contents rather than for the solids with high carbohydrate contents. Among the four reactor systems studied, CSTR, PFR, CSTR followed by PFR, and PFR with recycle, CSTR followed by PFR appeared to be the best choice considering methane conversion rate and the operational stability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performances of organic removal and methane recovery by using a full scale two-phase anaerobic system. The full scale two-phase anaerobic process was consists of an acidogenic anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and a methanognic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The volumes of acidogenic and methanogenic reactors were designed to $28.3m^3$ and $75.3m^3$. The two-phase anaerobic system represented 60-82% of COD removal efficiency when the influent COD concentration was in the range of 7,150 to 16,270 mg/L after screening (average concentration is 10,280 mg/L). After steady-state, the effluent COD concentration in the methanogenic reactor showed $2,740{\pm}330 mg/L$ by representing average COD removal efficiency was $71.4{\pm}8.1%$ when the operating temperature was in the range of $19-32^{\circ}C$. The effluent SCOD concentration was in the range of 2,000-3,000 mg/L at the steady state while the volatile fatty acid concentration was not detected in the effluent. Meanwhile, the COD removal efficiency in the acidogenic reactor showed less than 5%. The acidogenic reactor played key roles to reduce a shock-loading when periodic shock loading was applied and to acidify influent organics. Due to the high concentration of alkalinity and high pH in the effluent of the methanogenic reactor, over 80% of methane in the biogas was produced consistently. More than 70% of methane was recovered from theoretical methane production of TCOD removed in this research. The produced gas can be directly used as a heat source to increase the reactor temperature.

음식쓰레기, 슬러지 등과 같이 C/N비가 낮은 폐기물을 호기성으로 퇴비화하는 경우 질소 성분이 많이 손실될 수 있으며, 이는 비료성분의 손실, 악취를 비롯한 환경오염 발생 등을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴비화 공정에서 질소성 물질의 보존방법을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구로 음식쓰레기를 실험실 규모로 퇴비화하면서 일반적인 호기성 퇴비화 공정에서 일어나는 질소의 거동을 분석하였다. 음식쓰레기는 종이나 나무조각과 혼합하여 퇴비화하였으며, 질소성 물질의 거동을 평가하기 위해 퇴비시료에 포함된 암모니아, 산화성 질소, 유기성 질소를 측정하였다. 배가스로 손실되는 질소도 황산으로 흡수시켜 정량하였다. 퇴비화 반응의 활성화 여부가 유기성 질소의 무기화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 활성이 좋은 퇴비를 식종한 경우 반응 초기부터 유기성 질소의 무기화가 활발히 진행되어 많은 양의 질소가 손실된 반면 초기의 낮은 pH 기간이 길어지면 유기성 질소의 분해가 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아 손실량은 주입된 공기량의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단되며, 암모니아 손실이 증가하면 퇴비의 암모니아 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 질소에 대한 물질수지 분석을 통하여 초기 질소의 28~38%가 암모니아로 전환되었으며, 전환된 암모니아의 77~94%가 가스로 손실된 것으로 나타났다.

Genotoxicity/mutagenicity of organic chemicals in industrial wastewater was investigated using umu-test with a Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 strain. The tester strain was derived by introducing plasmid pSK 1002, which carried a umu C - lac Z fusion gene into S typhimurium TA1535, and tester strain in the presence microsomal activation proved to be the more sensitive maker of genotoxicity. Genotoxic responses were observed in concentrated with a blue-rayon column, from 14 plants tested. The results were as follow; 1. Genotoxic responses were observed in concentrated from nine plants(64.3%) tested. 2. The results show that genotoxic activity was particulary high in the untreated wastewaters and decreased in the treated wastewaters(35.7%) 3. No significant correlation was found between genotoxicity and water ollution indicators, such as COD and BOD.

LDHs(layered double hydroxides) are of use adsorbent to remove heavy metals, micro-organic pollutants as well as high concentration of phosphorus from wastewater to low concentration of surface water without pH adjustments. This study examined the generation condition of LDHs saturated with phosphorus. Less than 20% regeneration rate was obtained in the absence of alkali and regeneration solution. After the desorption of LDHs with several conditions of acid and alkali solution, more than 60% of regeneration rate could be expected in the case of using $MgCl_2$ as regeneration solution.
